einstein.gifThese are the discussion pages for Mr. Young's IB Physics students. Use the discussion threads to discuss answers to homework problems, practical work and all things related to physics classes. Keep discussion to a specific item in the same thread. Don't expect Mr. Young to answer any queries, he does not check the WIKISPACE regularly. This is not a substitute for seeking extra help.


Here is a basic tutorial (thanks Aki) about how to use the basic features of Wikispaces. . For information on using equations in messages, checkout Using Equations.



A special welcome to students of any other schools that are joining this collaborative e-learning community. Please feel free to contribute to our topic pages and weigh-in to ongoing discussion threads.
